Was just thinking after that bills thread.
I have a contract with o2, £20/month. free unlimited texts, 200 free international texts, 800 mins and free calls to my mum and my sister.
I think that's pretty good tbh, i don't really need email/internet on my phone.
Which DiSer has the best/worst deal?

i've been (ridiculously) with pay as you go for years, mostly not through choice but really cos of boring problems with my bank that have recently been sorted. i use about £30 a month and dont use my phone nearly as much as i want. I'm gonna cycle to carphone warehouse or whever to get one.

criteria:
budget £15/£20 a month where i barely have to pay more:
unlimited texts
dont care much about minutes but at least 100 would be nice
fair bit of internet usage
phone is free

phone:
okay camera would be nice but barely care
traditional keypad
durable (thats the only one i'm particularly bothered about)

£20 per month unlimited Internet unlimited land line calls 300 minutes 300 texts slide out keyboard, spent a little extra for a 16gb card for music. Negative points are it crashes every so often and the battery life isn't great but I guess that's the same with most smart phones

I've had the same phone since 2004 (LMAO) because I don't want to change my number, but I really want an iPhone so I can take photos and upload them to guyswithiphones.com. I know I'd be a hit on there.

£32.50 for 300 mins/texts, internet and the phone. I don't go over that. I keep meaning to ring and try to get it reduced but that's 3 for you. The main thing was to get the phone I wanted and not be stuck with some piece of shit made by someone other than SE or Nokia.

In the old days on O2 I paid £20 a month for 1000 texts, 600 minutes and unlimited internet.

Or maybe it's 9. So I can't switch. I was with O2 who were great but decided to get pissy and charge money for phones that had been free originally.

Maybe Three have changed their tune. I know that previously any attempt to get a 'good deal' from Lo fell on deaf ears. She rang them and they just offered her the shit on the website.

Shame the site's down or I'd look and see what plans I could switch to. (Of course, I'm assuming you never go over your monthly cost? If you do then that would explain it.)

The text message tells me I've got less than 20% of my internet usage remaining. I get this text on any day I use the internet regardless of how much usage I have remaining. So basically they are such fucktards they can't update a single switch on a database? That's pretty much the lamest thing ever. Clearly our user data is VERY secure. :-/

The actual contract is the £35pm one, which I get 30% off cos my friend works for o2, then I spend £10pm on insurance. So it's somewhere around £35 in the end, a wee bit less.

o2 have been great in general, when I found out that they'd upgraded all their contracts to include unlimited texts, which I wasn't getting (I was getting 500), I emailed them, and they switched me to the new tariff, no problems, and it's exactly the same price. WIN.
